Fundamental Physics Constants from NIST.
This site contains data maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Links to other scientific data are also provided.

The Physics of Racing
A series of articles about the physics of racing cars. It is decidedly slanted toward autocrossing but sidebars from other forms of racing appear when relevant. It starts out with the fundamentals (Newton's Laws, for example) and then it is slowly but surely building up complexity and covering more advanced topics. It covers all aspects of racing where physics applies, from driving to car setup and even computer simulations.
